But, as good as the subscription service is, you may find that Xbox Game Pass isn’t for you. If that’s the case, you’ll want to cancel the subscription; the problem is that you can no longer cancel the subscription directly from your Xbox One. Don’t worry, it’s still fairly easy to cancel your Xbox Game Pass, and here’s where we show you how.
How to unsubscribe from Xbox Game Pass
Before we go into detail about how to unsubscribe from Xbox Game Pass, let’s first explain how this all works. Once you unsubscribe, you’ll be able to access the Xbox Game Pass library until your current paid period ends. At that point, you’ll no longer be able to browse or play any of the games in the 100+ game library, unless you’ve bought them separately at any point. Oh, and while there was previously a way to cancel the subscription via the Xbox One, the method is no longer available. You’ll have to follow our instructions using a PC, Mac or smartphone to cancel Xbox Game Pass. If you ever change your mind and want to re-subscribe to the Xbox Game Pass, simply search for “Xbox Game Pass” on the Microsoft Store on your Xbox One and follow the on-screen instructions. The good news is that Microsoft utilises the cloud to backup and store your game save data, meaning you’ll be able to carry on where you left off before you unsubscribed.
